Diane.... preceding posts are all accurate - you can get to all day to day locations (grocery store, restaurants, golf, rec centers, etc) via golf cart. You didn't say where you are coming from, but, my only caution would be that January is our coldest month and it can get a little nippy in a golf cart when temps dip into the 50s and below. Now, if you are a Canadian these probably sound like Spring temps. You can try relying on a golf cart and see how it goes. There are Enterprise and Hertz rental car facilities in The Villages so you can rent a car for a day or two as needed or get a longer term (without the airport fees) rental right here. Lots of options.
